Electronic Systems Engineering

The focal topic of the Electronic Systems Engineering Master degree program is the communication between intelligent microcontrollers incorporated in electronic equipment. These microcomputers are networked to create a complex system capable of controlling processes and exchanging information over wired or wireless communication channels. You will in the degree program advance the interaction of electronics, IT, signal processing and communication technologies, based on these autonomous microprocessors. You will broaden your background through your know-how in communication, leadership and management.

    Before the studies

    Your existing technical know-how on hardware, software and system level is a good baseline, but you would like improve on that. You would like to focus especially on microprocessors, on their reliable networking and use in a variety of complex systems. You are always keen to apply new technologies. This is an advantage, especially should you be looking for the best customized IT solution for individual components or complete systems. Your methods are analytical and structured and you have a high awareness of risk. You find it easy to find links between different disciplines. You are willing to assume responsibility and regard your Master studies as a stepping stone to a leadership position.

    Unique job opportunities


    Obtain additional certificates while still studying and increase your market value.

    Do you still have questions about the study?

    Make an appointment with our Secretary's office ese@fh-campuswien.ac.at and you will receive a personal consultation appointment with Gerhard Engelmann (Deputy Director of the program) via Zoom.

     

    • A Bachelor degree or diploma certificate from an institute of higher education with a total of 180 ECTS credits with at least 50 ECTS credits in the relevant subjects of Electronics, Digital Technology and Communication Technologies. In exceptional cases, the University Council will make a joint decision with the Program Director.
    • Equivalent certificate from abroad
      • Equivalence is determined by international agreements, validation or in individual cases a decision by the head of the academic section.
    • The admission requirements are met with the Applied Electronics Bachelor degree program offered at FH Campus Wien.

    To apply you will require the following documents:

    • Birth certificate
    • Proof of citizenship
    • Bachelor degree certification or diploma certificate/equivalent certificate from abroad
    • CV in table form

    Please note:
    It is not possible to save incomplete online applications. You must complete your application in one session. Your application will be valid as soon as you upload all of the required documents and certificates. In the event that some documents (e.g. references) are not available at the time you apply, you may submit these later via e-mail, mail or in person by no later than the start of the degree program.

    The admission procedure examines the technical aptitude of the applicants for the Master's degree program. It comprises a written test and an interview. The secretary's office will notify you of the date for the admission procedure.

    • Aim
      The aim is to ensure places are offered to those persons who complete the multi-level admission procedure with the best results. The tests are designed to assess the skills needed for an applicant's chosen profession.
    • Procedure
      The written admission test assesses your logical thinking processes and your understanding of technical processes. All applicants will afterwards be invited to an admission interview to establish your ability and readiness to learn, your motivation in your selection of the degree program and career, your personal aptitude and your verbal communication skills.
    • Criteria
      The criteria for acceptance are based solely on performance. Points are awarded for the written test results and the admission interview. The applicants will be ranked correspondingly. The geographical origin of the applicant has no influence on the admission decision. The admission requirements must be met in all cases. The process as a whole and all test and assessment results from the admission procedure are documented in a verifiable manner and archived.

    During the studies

    In choosing Electronic Systems Engineering, you have opted for a technical degree program with core topics such as Electronics, Information Technology, Signal processing and Communications. The knowledge you acquire will open up a wide range of opportunities in your profession: the field includes building automation, aircraft and automobiles, the medical sector and up to monitoring and control of industrial processes. Our elaborately equipped laboratories such as the electronics and/or network laboratory offer you a quiet environment in which to gain practical experience and simulate networking of complex systems in the course of your studies - to find answers to questions arising in your Master thesis, for instance.

    We would furthermore appreciate your involvement in R&D projects. We would like to invite you to help shape the transfer of knowledge between praxis and research, based on the work in your degree program.

    The Electronic Systems Engineering Master's degree program includes research on industrial image processing applications. The ever increasing performance of processors opens up novel solutions in automatic image recognition in industry and medicine. A student has the opportunity of actively cooperating with scientists in the development of algorithms to reliably and efficiently analyze defects and anomalies in images.

    Our degree program also attaches great importance to linking our field of work to other technical disciplines in our department, as is also the case in practice. We are, for instance, working on controllers for six axis robots together with the High Tech Manufacturing section.

    Whilst High Tech Manufacturing is responsible for the mechanical robot design, Electronic Systems Engineering will integrate and implement all the control-related functions into the design. Rapid Prototyping is another field of close cooperation with this section, capturing the coordinates of three-dimensional objects and recreating an object on 3D printers. Electronic Systems Engineering controls the acquisition of object data.

    We can also offer students of the Electronic Systems Engineering Master's degree program the opportunity of obtaining certifications pertinent to the industry in the course of their studies. These may include the LabView certificate and PMA Project management Austria Level D.

     

    Know-how in hardware, software, signal processing and networking technologies is central to your Master's degree program. You will acquire social and management skills in addition.

    • Hardware includes design and simulation techniques for the development of digital circuits as well as sensors and actuators as the interfaces to peripheral devices. The software module will teach you more about low-level programming and the use of real-time operating systems. Other focal points will be digital signal processing for the processing of sensor signals and technologies for networking of small computers.
    • Courses on fault-tolerant systems will focus on safety-critical applications.
    • In the area of personality development, the focus will be on social competency, from communicating skills to leadership and management know-how.
